The Song
Let’s take a walk into the night, Come to the fields with me.No man-made glitz, no city lightsHere blind your eyes to see. They say this universe so vastBegan by chance and time.But look real close – there see the past –Behold! God’s forged design. So many stare and think they’re wise,Search hard for life…

IN THE BEGINNING
Early one morning – the sun was still weak, I stepped through an old rusted gate.Walked into my garden and took peekWhat I saw, I know, was my fate. Overcome by a wonder I’d never seenAs if traveled the universe vast I looked and there from a vine shone a beam, Drew me in to the way of…

In the Beginning
Humans were not the first ones to string lights. It was the Maker Himself. Before man was able to see and feel God’s love, He decorated the heavens and sent glimpses of His creativity into the World. Ethereal, eternal truths – God brought them to earth. He thought man worthy to consider heaven. But darkness…

The Nearness of God (Sunday Quote)
Some time ago, early in the morning, I read in my devotional “A Diary of Private Prayer” by John Baillie. As the sun slowly rose the beams of light shone through my kitchen window. The rays broke through some stained glass and hit the pages of my book while I was praying. It was a…

I picked it up and turned it around. Immediately my heart became overwhelmed with this familiar feeling of love and longing. It was…

In the Balance of Light and Dark
Sometimes circumstances come together perfectly. This morning they did for me. The full moon was setting close to the same time the sun was coming up. I grabbed the tripod and headed out into the frigid dawn. After capturing the moon set behind a treeline outside of my house, I got in the car and…

One at a Time
Laundry piles up on the bed and begs to be folded. After-dinner dishes seem to stack themselves in the sink. The weeds in my flowerbeds stare at me, and the vegetables call to be planted in the garden. The list goes on. Another list grows as well. This one gets longer with each hurt I…

PAIN
I took this picture this morning on my walk. The tree reminded me of “PAIN” … how the branches had grown up-ward in a struggle of sort. On their own, one might consider each a wayward attempt at being a part of a strong tree. However, as the sun reflected behind the tree, the branches…

Awareness
Awareness … of the sound of the ice breaking and snow crunching beneath my feet … Awareness … of my heartbeat drumming in unison with the pace of my walk … Awareness … of my breath, visible only for a short second … Awareness … of the sunbeam breaking through the clouds … light having…
